Things that matter

Video footage of the 33 miners trapped inside the collapsed gold and copper mine in Chile shows that they are in good spirits. That is despite having just been told that it could be as many as four months before they’re rescued and eating just two little spoonfuls of tuna, a sip of milk and a biscuit every 48 hours for two weeks.

Supplies and small games are now being lowered regularly to keep the miners in good health conditions. But what I think they really need is some computers with World of Warcraft on them. That’s the only thing that can make living four months in a hole that’s 700m underground bearable (and that’s a fact).

PS: A better video: guardian.co.uk

I’m sure everyone remembers Anna Chapman, the hot Russian spy. Here’s a video of her during a photo shoot for a Russian tabloid site.

The view is especially nice between 0:27-29. I’m just sayin’.

You’re welcome.

A Thai woman trying to board a flight to Iran out of Bangkok’s airport has been caught trying to smuggle a two-month-old tiger cub in a bag filled with stuffed toys.

The tiger was sedated in an attempt to make him fit in with the stuffed toys in the bag, but “x-rays aroused suspicions among airport staff who believed they had seen an image resembling a real animal.” I guess stuffed toys haven’t reached that level of perfection yet where they look just like real animals. Thank god.

This reminds me of a video I’ve seen a few days ago where a guy in Iran is washing his pet lion on the street. Guess he got bored of the lion and wanted a tiger.

He's probably smoking a car.

A group of Canadian companies are collaborating to produce a car made of Cannabis.

“Yeah right,” you say, but seriously, it’s true. They’re calling it Kestrel, and the first 20 cars are scheduled to surface next year. And while you might expect such a vehicle to run on junk food, it’s actually electric.

The compact car, which will hold a driver and up to three passengers, will have a top speed of 90 kilometres per hour and a range of 40 to 160 kilometres before needing to be recharged, depending on the type of battery.

Apparently a pop song about Facebook was released by a Turkish pop singer earlier this year. How on earth did we miss such an important milestone in the evolution of our global culture?

The worst part about it is that it comes from a guy whose albums are selling really well in Turkey. I’m not going to say that it says a lot about the culture of that region, but it certainly says something.

Lyrics:

I went to internet cafe
Logged in to my Facebook page
I called my self “Crazy” (Cilgin)
I’m a member as of now
I met with a sweetheart
We’ve been writing each other everyday
It’s like a medicine to my heart
I become a loving person

She deserves to be be loved
And has beautiful eyes
It’s hard to find someone like her
Everyone is asking how I found

Facebook Facebook I’ve been seeking everyday
Facebook Facebook where I found her
Facebook Facebook It’s a love at first sight
Facebook Facebook I think I’m falling for her

Enjoy the music video below – /sarcasm.

PS: There’s also a Greek song about Facebook (incredibly low production values might make it impossible to be unseen, click the link at your own risk).
